We''re organising yet another dMw trip to the Great British Beer Festival which this year is 9th - 13th August 2016 at Olympia London.

Tickets are on sale now.  Tickets - £11 (non-member) or £9 (CAMRA member). Includes a free program.

....and we've announced the meetup this early so that our international drinkers (you know who you are) can once again take advantage of the cheap flights and even cheaper beer prices to save some money by drinking with us in the UK!

We'll probably meet when the doors open on Friday 12th August at 12.00pm and then we'll grab a table and continuing onwards into the evening.    So if you fancy a few pints of fabulous real ale, speciality beers, ciders or perries, tasty nosh then please publicise your interest by posting in this thread your intention to meet up with other dastardly dMw Beer Drinkers!

:cheers::dmw::cheers:

  • Tutonic (maybe)

Me for sure and +1... Is a great laugh and challenging to find the hotel after it has all finished.

Currently working on an arrival time - the rail network seems to be working against me this time due to 'work being carried out on the line', so my normal direct train is now a 2 change journey! :angry:

Still aiming to be in there before 12.00pm to grab a nice table.

Horary for the VIP table grabbers. Will make our way for around that time and will let you know if we are lucky to get a table first.

Winning beer this year is a stout..
Binghams Vanilla Stout
Already on limited supply so not confident will get to try it.

That sounds good. The brewery is in Twyford... Anyone in the Reading/Maidenhead area want to go do us a review if it sells out? :D

Yes we'll be choosing the beers that will be at the LAN from those that we taste during the day.  

There's a thread in the LAN section about the sponsors kegs and we hope to have at least 5 sponsored kegs which will sell to dMw for £1.50 per pint.

We'll need to check that the selected beers are available for the LAN dates and we'll liaise with the hotel and their suppliers to make sure we get our order.

Although the tasting skills do tend to deteriorate towards the time the main bands come on stage

Fun day chaps thank you.

Some excellent ales and ciders and good laugh. Apart from the Zebra Burger all was a blast.

Cheers
